Party like there's no tomorrow!
TheMurderousCricket posted a City Journal entry in SimCity: Tribalism
Now that exploding fireworks went silent, the New Year's Eve seems like a distant memory. However, the Slackers and their Gridlayer friends have found a way to keep their people and foreign visitors entertained throughout the rest of the year... and probably many more years to come. A new town has been established on Eylaquin Archipelago in Y.O.U.S 37. Passenger boats and yachts are currently the only means of transport available to reach these islands but it is well worth it. The city that was built there is a very special place if excitement is what you want... This unassuming speck on the map of New Udanani is the Mecca to any tourists which crave for wild, spicy and carefree entertainment far from the bounds of their everyday lives. The city of Hedonist Cove located on the archipelago is a place dedicated to those who can't live their lives too fully... First arrivals to Eylaquin Archipelago are always organized and follow a strictly designed travel route. All first-timers are delivered to a small, quiet marina at the Southwestern tip of Greater Eylaquin island. This way, newcomers to the island don't see any landmarks too soon and their anticipation is maintained... The only significant standouts that the guests can see from this side of the island are Xinuma Peak and Sunray Waterfall which flows out of its rocky bowels. After disembarking, the tourists are packed onto shuttles which take them to the city center through a dark, 3 kilometer long tunnel. As shuttles approach their destination, the tourists are greeted by a colorful light display installed over the final parts of this underground road. As the vehicles reemerge to the surface, the visitors are swept off their feet by the lively, untamed entertainment district which pulsates with life and noise... Here, one can find some of the most popular entertainment venues in Hedonist Cove. A local chapter of Hard Rock Cafe, the Atom Danceclub, (the architecture of which clearly indicates a Gridlayer hand) numerous pubs, eateries, gaming halls, cheap lodging options and plazas where random people meet to drink, laugh or play silly party games. Within downtown, one can also find a classy 4-star Arabica Hotel with adjacent Tunis Game Hall which has a selection of simple gambling games. A local, fashionable drink bar named"Lucky's Hang Ten can also be found close by. West of Arabica, there are various shops and rentals stocked with sporting goods - anything from beach volleyballs to jetskis and climbing equipment. There is even a motocross rental point with a cross-country track. New tourists usually stay in the rented rooms and apartments which are located in the Eastern part of Greater Eylaquin and close to the entertainment district. This area is also close to the bright and balmy Kalamris Beach. But all of the visitors, regardless from where they came, are always, invariably hypnotized by the sight of the largest night club the Island (and probably entire New Udanani) has to offer and which is built on the slope of Xinuma Peak... Every night, the Volcanic Club resonates with the sounds of wild music and the primal heat of the bodies hustling through it. Nights inside are long and hot. If three dance floors above and five below the ground does not satisfy your party apetite, then I don't know what will... Those who wish to cool down after the night's events (or those who want to actually warm up before the next evening) can do so in the thermal baths which are located right next to Volcanic Club... The venue is popular among all types of tourists due to its soothing waters and fantastic views of the Greater and Smaller Eylaquin islands. Before we move on, just one piece of useful advice - if you have already been to Hedonist Cove before, you are no longer required to participate in the "ceremonial arrival" described above. On your next visit, you can choose to disembark directly at the so-called "VIP Marina", which is located just steps away from the downtown. Those who'd like to experience the wonders of Hedonist Cove but, at the same time, are not into barely controllable parties, can book their rooms on Smaller Eylaquin. This island is more orderly and quiet but still quite exciting due to numerous pubs and small entertainment businesses all over. Smaller Eylaquin has several good lodging options which are close to beautiful beaches and hidden away from the chaos of the main island. If you are rolling in dough, you can book rooms at Champion's Victory Palace - the 5-star hotel and luxury casino. If your funds are limited, pick one of the guesthouses or comfy 3-star hotels. Of course, Smaller Eylaquin is also home to some permanent citizenry who decided to live in Hedonist Cove. If you fancy some statistics, there are 7338 residents living in the city. In order to provide these people with employment opportunities, an industrial zone has been built on Southern Eylaquin - the last island in the archipelago. There is really nothing interesting out there unless you like soot and steelworks. It is also perfectly understandable that some people simply do not wish to work near or with rowdy tourists... Hedonist Cove is a crazy but equally tempting place to visit. With Udananians and internationals swarming into the city, one should keep in mind that tickets to visit should be booked at least eight months prior to the planned arrival! All lodging options support approximately 6500 tourists at any given time so it is important to plan one's stay in advance. To conclude today's episode, have some more images and impressions of the unusual Slacker-Gridlayer island city. Comment replies: @JulioC - Thank you for nice words. I'm happy you like my "gardening"! @Honolulu - I'm really flattered and glad you liked the cities presented in the previous episode. Thanks! @Tarkus - Thank you @Tarkus! I have to say GLR is my favorite type of transport. It seems it is also very popular among commuters. @TogaMasterJohn - Now that I'm on sick leave I have too much time on my hands and this is why the episodes appear so quickly. I would like to be busier, trust me... It's great that you enjoyed both the Coastline Summit and the new Businesspeople cities! Dollar Grove indeed feels like walking the line...- 3 Comments
